BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. troops found a hostage imprisoned in Fallujah, the military said Thursday. The man, who appeared not to be a Westerner, was chained and malnourished.
Marines spokeman Maj. Francis Piccoli said the man was chained and shackled at his wrists and ankles when troops discovered him Wednesday afternoon in a building in a northeastern district of the city.
Piccoli said he did not know the man's nationality but that he was not an American or Westerner.
The man had been beaten by his captors and was very malnourished, according to medical assessments.
A variety of weapons was discovered at the site as well, he said
Thank God he was saved!
Amen!
.........and they worry about having panties over their heads while imprisoned by the U.S.
I hope to see pictures depicting the condition of this poor soul posted worldwide from these freedom fighters treatment of prisoners. j

Marines of the 1st Division use a bolt cutter to take of the handcuffs of an Iraqi, at a makeshift military hospital in Fallujah, Iraq (news - web sites), Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2004. The Iraqi whose name was not released, was found handcuffed in an insurgent hiding place in Fallujah, after being kidnapped 10 days ago in Baghdad's suburb of Abu Ghraib. The Marines believe he was used as a human shield. (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus) |
Let's hope this man NEVER forgets who his liberators are.
Thank God for the American troops saving this mans life.
it must just rile the left to see Americans doing good things ...
Check it out ping....
Thank god! And God bless our troops!
And... are we to expect *any* media reaction to this (apart from derision, that is?)
Per Fox News, he was a taxi driver and he was crying his eyes out with a U.S. soldier sitting beside him. I don't think he will forget our military for saving his life.
whoa..
Praise God and our Troops!
God bless our troops.
I'd like to see this picture on my Yahoo homepage instead of a wounded innocent Iraqi, like they always manage to find.
Good news BUMP
Maybe Ms. Maples will do a special report.
They just showed a video of him on Fox & Friends. He was a taxi driver who had been nabbed about two weeks or so ago. He had been beaten and prodded with electricity, and starved. You could see bruises on him.
I hope we see a lot more rescues in the comming days.
